43 walkers set off along the canal going
south toward Capernrway. After passing under the railway bridge,
which carries the line from Leeds to Morecambe, & over the Keer
Aqueduct, we crossed over the bridge to set off through fields with
a variety of stiles & by a stream to a coffee stop with good views,
before arriving at Priest Hutton. From there it was up a lane & down
an overgrown pathway before more fields to reach the cottages by
Coat Green Farm. A minor road led back to the canal where we saw the
disused set of locks on the ‘northern reaches’ which it is hoped
will one day be opened again to canal traffic.
